Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hinoemata is a mountain village in southwestern Fukushima and a gateway to Oze. Begin with village culture and food before planning a separate mountain trip.

This guide covers places within Hinoemata, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Keep your first walk simple

Try the Six Jizo area → the stage area → the heritage museum. Respect village life and worship spaces; prepare equipment and transport separately for Oze.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
